My advice is to always base your fishing on your own standards for honor - it's all about what we do when no one is watching.

For sure. I fish by the regulations but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on something. I’m new to fishing from a boat in the ocean. Most of my experience has been in the bay. Thanks for the clarifications everyone

Hi All. I sometimes see kayakers fish with two rods at the same time in the ocean. I can’t find the regs that state when this is ok or when it’s not. The second rod stamp seems like it is only for inland fishing. So when is this allowed in California? Thanks

Do you need to remove your peddles to used it

Tell her your shoulder hurts now and so you need a pedal style kayak instead. 

I use a lexa 300 with 30 lb line.  I like this lightweight set up

Lol. Didn’t end the way I thought it would. Nice twist

MauiBen could you see any damage to the outside of the boat at that location that could have been due to user caused? If it was a defect I hope that bass pro shop does the right thing and returns the guy’s money back. The kayaker looked relatively young and being that it was his first kayak, I feel bad for him. It’s not a cheap kayak by any means.

Another thing that got me thinking was that I should bring a small roll of gorilla tape with me for times like this. We could have pumped his boat out and taped the outside and maybe he could have gotten back to the ramp by himself with us beside him. Luckily shadow cliff was a small lake and he was able to walk back to the ramp by himself as we towed his boat in. Now I see how a completely swamped kayak reacts as you try to get it back to shore. He barely was able to balance himself within minutes of pumping it out. If we had found him in the middle of the lake I think our only option would be for him to get onto one of our kayaks belly down and we get him to shore ASAP. Does anyone have any suggestions for how we would do this if he was in the middle of a lake? The water temp was like 55F and air temp was kinda cold too. Can anyone share if you have had to rescue someone when the other persons kayak was not able to float with them onboard? Thanks all.
